Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, pursue their dreams, and live a life free from the burden of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Advancing research and providing world-class treatment requires the generosity of communities committed to giving families hope when they need it most.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a global leader in treating and researching childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Families receiving care at St. Jude never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus entirely on helping their child heal. To support this life-saving mission, supporters will gather for an inspiring weekend of philanthropy in Las Vegas.
Viva St. Jude 2026, presented by Michael Godard Fine Arts Associates, will take place on September 25–26, 2026, with events hosted at The Arroyo Golf Club and Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. This year’s theme, All That Glitters, celebrates the brilliance of scientific breakthroughs and the resilience of every child receiving treatment at St. Jude.
The weekend begins on Friday, September 25, with a 144-player golf scramble at The Arroyo Golf Club, followed by the Viva St. Jude Poker Tournament at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa, where participants can compete for exciting prizes, including a $10,000 grand prize. On Saturday, September 26, guests will return to Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa for the elegant Taste of Viva St. Jude, an evening of fine dining, philanthropy, and celebration alongside business and community leaders dedicated to making a lasting impact. Every dollar raised through Viva St. Jude directly supports the hospital’s mission of providing exceptional care, pioneering research, and comprehensive family support at no cost to patients. Together, participants help ensure that hope continues to shine for children and families facing life’s toughest battles.
Reserve your place here to support groundbreaking pediatric research and help ensure families can focus on what matters most—their child’s future.
